I uploaded one of our familiar documents: eels.docx (I can email this to you if you like), which contains a bunch of multi-byte characters and ltr language.

The result is this document preview being generated: http://screencast.com/t/05LQUkQIZM4

There should not be so much space between these pages.

Assigning to @sathomas for investigation.

The pages also don't seem to be properly centred horizontally.

sathomas commented 10 years ago

Can you provide a link to the PDF?

mrvisser commented 10 years ago

I've attached it in an email

sathomas commented 10 years ago

Can't reproduce using my local instance (Chrome 30 on Mac OS X as well). Are you using an accessible (over the Internet) server?

sathomas commented 10 years ago

The pdf2htmlEX version is short several commits from the latest, but I don't think that's the problem here

mrvisser commented 10 years ago

I was using the QA server: oae.oae-qa0.oaeproject.org
